Hi Carsten,
  I understood Phil's comments to mean that only Charles had been making much 
in the way of actual code changes to Sanselan from now for X amount of time 
into the past.  Do the other committers have actual knowledge of the codebase, 
or, failing that, grim determination to see that Sanselan is properly 
supported?  ;)  I will try to make some time to peruse Sanselan's structure 
myself and would encourage other members of the Commons community to do the 
same, as we then might be in a better position to gauge how easily any Java 
developer could dive in and lend a hand.
